Faced with a Provisional Improvement Notice (PIN) from Workcover, this client needed all the appliances in their administration, kitchen and workshop tested and tagged. We delivered a timely, cost effective, fully compliant program that got all their appliances done and documented. Client met all requirements of the PIN and no fine issued.
Trade Tool Testing
Special requirements and regulations apply to the testing and tagging of trade tools. These include specific retest intervals, change-over grace periods and specific colour coding system of the tags.
Don’t risk getting caught by the site safety office; get your trade tools correctly tested and tagged on time, every time.
Our client was working on a large construction site where regular safety audit walkthroughs were conducted. All their appliances had to be up to date with their retesting and correct tag colours used.
Our client passed every audit and experienced no downtime or penalties.
SPECIALIST TESTING AND TAGGING SERVICES
Safety Switch Testing / RCD Testing
RCDs (residual current devices), or safety switches as they are commonly called, are important safety devices that can save your life; but only if they are working and react (trip) fast enough.
Our technicians will check the trip time of your fixed and portable RCDs using specialised equipment that is accurate to within 1 millisecond (1/1,000th of a second).

A government body based in inner Melbourne has over 50+ RCDs (safety switches) spread over 3 levels. We developed a plan enabling them all to be checked within a very tight time frame and without causing any disruption to their normal work patterns. Several RCDs were found to have slow reaction times and 2 were not functioning, therefore not protecting workers.
Three Phase Appliance Testing
The testing and tagging of three phase appliances requires specialised test equipment and procedures due to their complexity, higher voltages and often higher current ratings.
Our technicians are trained and experienced in the correct and safe testing and tagging techniques for a wide range of three phase appliances and leads; including 10 amp, 20 amp & 32 amp rated appliances with 4 or 5 pin plugs.
This means you wont have to engage a second person to come in and do them for you.

ACME took over the contract to service a large manufacturing plant. After examining their existing reports we identified all of the three phase appliances had been incorrectly tested by previous contractor for several years prior. During the first visit our technician detected 4 appliances with defects that could have resulted in electric shock incidents if left unchecked.
Heavy Duty Appliance Testing
The testing and tagging of your heavy duty appliances has to be done 100% correctly due to the extra dangers with the higher currents.
We will safely check your appliances with ratings of 10 Amps, 15 Amps and even up to 20 Amps.
This client has a high number of 15 Amp appliances and works to tight deadlines. Any down time can be costly. We provided on-site testing and tagging of all their appliances, including the heavy duty 15 A appliances that previously had to be sent away. This has improved their productivity and reduced costs by needing to only deal with one contractor.
Appliance Repair Services
Don’t get caught without that much needed appliance because it failed the safety check and now you have to send it away for repair.
We provide a same day, on-site minor repair service to keep you going. Technicians carry common spare parts and can do a range of repairs on-the-spot including;
- replace plug tops and sockets to leads
- replace damaged leads on power tools and other appliances
- refit detached flex grommets
- and many more
Wanting to finish an important job, our client now faced the possibility of several days delay when a crucial appliance was found to have a defective lead. However, ACME technicians carry spare leads and in this case they were able to replace the damaged lead with a brand new one. The appliance was back in service within 10 minutes and both our client and theirs were happy.

Case Example:
A desperate call came in 4:30 pm on a Friday from the organiser of a major event.
